The Cape Coast Area of The Church of Pentecost has been presented the ‘Osabarimba Royal Award’ as the most Impactful Church in the Cape Coast Traditional Area during this year’s Osabarimba Royal Awards ceremony.
The prestigious award was received on behalf of the Cape Coast Area by a church delegation made up of the Area Chieftaincy Ministry Chairman, Pastor Isaac Yamoah Bosompem, the Area Deacon, Elder Daniel Quainoo, and the Area Women’s Ministry Leader, Deaconess Georgina Ashley, at a colourful event held at Oguaa Emintsimadze, the palace of the Osabarimba Atta II of Oguaa.
The Osabarimba Royal Awards is an annual Oguaa Traditional Council event initiated by Osabarimba Kwesi Atta in partnership with Ridge Royal Hotel, associated by all and sundry.
The awards scheme seeks to recognise and acknowledge individuals and organisations supporting the growth and development of Oguaa (Cape Coast).
Being the third edition of the annual award ceremony, this year’s event saw a rich display of royalty, prestige, togetherness, culture and tradition. It also brought together businessmen and women, technocrats, governmental and non-governmental organisations, old student associations, churches, representatives of various groups, sponsors, the media and all nominees.
Addressing the prestigious and royal gathering, Osabarimba Kwesi Atta II revealed that: “We, are honouring persons and organisations in the metropolis who have distinguished themselves in their various places of work and those who through their efforts have to improve the face of Cape Coast or Oguaaman.”
The 2023 Osabarimba Royal Awards ceremony had 12 categories, including social development, education, health sector, religion, tourism, indigenous organisations and honourary awards.
The Cape Coast Area of The Church of Pentecost took home the “Most Impactful Church in Cape Coast” award under the religion category.
The Area Deacon, Elder Daniel Quainoo, in an interview with PENTECOST NEWS, explained that the award was given to The Church of Pentecost because of the historic impact the Church had made in the lives of the people of Cape Coast in terms of evangelism in ghettos, donations to prisoners in Ankaful Prisons, visitation to patients at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital and Ewim Hospital, and educational support to brilliant but needy students in tertiary institutions, among others.
The awardees, on behalf of the nominees of the various categories, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Osabarimba Kwesi Atta II and the Planning Committee for the recognition and honour done them.
They said the award has greatly motivated them and promised to do more to “make Cape Coast great again.”
In attendance to witness the event were over 30 chiefs and queen mothers.
